Emergency Service, 24 Hours

Emergency work is our oldest service. A person answers the phone around the clock. We run 28 trucks out of Century Avenue across 11 Maryland counties. Our technicians work on every brand, not just Overhead Door. A dock that will not close at 11 at night is not a brand question. The trucks carry the parts that cause most failures, so the first visit is usually the only visit.

When to call

  • The door will not open, or will not close

  • The door has come off its track

  • A spring or a cable has broken

  • A dock leveler is stuck down, or stuck up

  • The operator runs but the door does not move

  • A vehicle or a forklift has hit the door

  • A rolling fire door has dropped and will not reset

  • A storefront grille has jammed part way

What happens when you call

Step 1, You call: A person answers, day or night. No queue, no ticket to file first. Step 2, We ask four things: Where the door is, what it is doing, what it is on (dock, storefront, home), and who to call back. Step 3, A truck is dispatched: 28 trucks across 11 counties, stocked for the failures that are common on every brand. Step 4, Running again, or made safe: Most calls end with the door working. When a part has to be ordered we secure the opening and come back with it.

A ZIP code is enough if you would rather not type the address.

Is this a business or a home?

Make, model, and door number help, but a sentence is plenty.
